Marsh harrier

The harriers are very busy with making their nests at the moment.

What a lovely catch!! I love the OOF FG.

I'd crop from the right, and a little off the top as Peter did, but not from the left. In that crop the bird is in half the frame with nothing happening in the other half -- similar to putting a horizon in the middle.

Very nice action captured.I like the pose with full wings up and nesting material.Nice BG and FG.

Lovely, artistic image. That soft FG really makes this one special. I prefer the bird smaller in the frame as in the OP but might try a few variations until you find the one that works best.

Thanks for the commments!

@Diane, agree with you there on the crop!
